The miniaturised version of the Xperia Z1, has finally been able to deliver what all the other ‘Mini’ versions of flagship devices has so far been unable to achieve, a phone with high end specs and seemingly almost no compromises – well the screen resolution is lower due to the size of the screen but apart from that it’s the device many smaller screen afficianados have been calling for, for some time and it’s good to see a company producing a high-end spec device with a smaller screen size in the Android side of things.

The conveniently named Xperia Z1 f SO-02F is available in black, white, lime, and pink but is seemingly exclusive to the NTT DoCoMo network so it’s uncertain whether availability will be expanded beyond their shores. We’ll be following up with Sony Australia for any word on a possible launch of the Z1 f further afield.

I hope they sell it outside of Japan. It seems odd that they would go to the expense of designing a complete phone for just one carrier in one country. Unless the carrier is paying them a lot of money, which is possible.

Docomo says it’s an exclusive for their network. And dont forget, the same thing happened last year with the Xperia SX.
